Maybe I will find time to investigate it
sometime (does anyone have schematics???)
Yes
But driver transistors can and do fail. Sometimes
there were specially
selected, so you might have to try a few transistors until the machine
works again, and/or tweak the current levels, etc. Not impossible to do.
The
transistors on the core board which fail are very common. I haven't had
to replace any on the XYD or ID boards so I am not sure there.
